“Oh? It seems like you aren’t here to celebrate then.”
Jasper turned around and called out, “Julian.”
“I’m here!”
Julian made his way toward Jasper.
“Kick these two people off the venue. They weren’t invited.”
As soon as Jasper finished giving his orders, Zane yelled out in a fit of rage. “Jasper Laine, what are you doing?!”
Mitch had an extremely unpleasant expression etched across his face as well.
He did not expect Jasper to act in such an arrogant manner and kick both of them out after exchanging just a few sentences with them.
If he and Zane were to get kicked out of the event like a wounded dog in front of everyone, it would be beyond humiliating for them. They would be too ashamed to even return to Harbor City.
“This is a topping-off ceremony. I had personally invited everyone present to celebrate the completion of the Southface River project. Since both of you aren’t here to celebrate, why should I let you stay?” Jasper asked them calmly.
The corner of Zane’s mouth twitched; What Jasper said made sense. Thus, he glanced at Mitch instinctively.
There was a dark expression on Mitch’s face. He sneered coldly and said, “There’s no need to use your tricks on me, Jasper Laine. Didn’t you send out invitations to both our families? We’re here to attend the ceremony, but you’re kicking us out instead. If news about this breaks out, who will seem to be the one at fault here?”
Jasper raised his brow and said, “You’re mistaken. I sent out invitations to your fathers, Mr. Bob Lancaster and Mr. Kennedy Langdon. I intended to invite both of them, but neither of your are on the guest list.”
Mitch and Zane’s expressions changed. They had both seen Jasper’s invitation. As he had said, their names had not been on the invitations. The invitation did not invite Bob and Kennedy to bring their respective family members along either.
